Nightshade Assassins (Pest List)

🍅 Nightshade Assassins (Pest List)

If you’re growing tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, or potatoes — this is your lineup. These are the usual suspects I’ve battled on my homestead, and I only ever use natural, organic fixes.

Tomato Hornworm - Large green caterpillar with white stripes and a rear horn.

Aphids - Small soft-bodied bugs that cluster on new growth and suck plant sap.

Flea Beetles - Tiny black beetle that jumps and chews tiny holes in leaves.
